Because Sam sung.
I'll just have to weigh the prose and the cons.
I play dnd and my bard is very annoyed, that our party's druid, who is an earth genasi (appearance was described as a living statue)) won't give anyone his name.
So my bard will only address them with rock based puns until they properly introduce themselves.
A regular bard-ershop quartet.
His stage name "Diss-Bard"
He was Diss-Bard.
Because he was bard
2B or not 2B
A bard spiral.
It was a play on words.
He bard his windows.
I'm currently building a war forged bard. He has a chest that acts as a record player and his left arm is the horn. I'm need of name pun brilliance!!
Bard: I take out my lute and start playing
Druid: I take out my flute and join in
Dm: rolls. Everybody loves it. (Paraphrased. Took much longer)
Me: Hey. Where did you keep the flute? Would you say maybe in the brim of your shoe? Like how some keep a knife in their boot? Please, just go with it
So the lute and the flute from the boot was a hoot
"I can't," the lawyer said. "I'd be dis Bard."
I started playing the lute at the pub for extra cash. Thought they would call me a musician but I got bard. Can't go there anymore. My buddy thinks it's because the barkeep wasn't in her minstrel cycle
In a conversation about a pub called the Shakespear, my Mum had been with her friend and apparently it's quite nice. My Dad interjects with "I wonder how many people get bard from the Shakespear."
Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.
Today I share with you "NEXIS IS RIDICULOUS.txt":

Context: My friends and I were playing an RPG (along the lines of DnD) over skype. I was describing a past event in my perpetually ridiculously drunken bard's life.
Friend 1: So wait, were you drunk at this moment?
Friend 2: Do you need to ask?
Me: Well, I only had a few pints of whiskey that evening. In terms of drinking, those were my light years.
Friend 1: Would you say that those were your...
...buzzed light years?
So many levels of pun, I couldn't believe it.
My sister went to a LARP over the weekend as a bard and brought her ukulele. My dad had this to say when she got back
"You know, you better be careful running around the woods with your ukulele. You could get minstrel cramps."
